What is a credit facility?
A credit facility is a sum of money we may apply to your FOREX.com Professional account, based on your total demonstrable assets. We may arrange a credit facility of up to 25% (subject to approval) which will then be allocated to your FOREX.com trading account to open further positions.

How many documents can I provide?
You may upload as many documents as you need to provide evidence of funds when applying for a credit facility. The total value of the funds will then be taken into account before considering your credit application.
For example, if you have provided us two documents – a shares certificate and bank statement – which are both valued at AUD$20,000 each, then we may afford you a credit facility of up to 25% of the total amount of AUD$40,000= AUD$10,000.

Frequently asked questions
Can retail accounts access the credit facility?
No, retail accounts cannot access the credit facility. It is a Professional-only offering, in much the same way as cash rebates are only available to Professionals.
However, with a retail account, you’ll have access to other features such as negative balance protection and leverage limits, as well as being able to access a wide range of markets and award-winning platforms.
How does the credit facility work?
The credit facility works by allowing you to take out a loan to increase your trading resources. You’ll have the flexibility to open additional positions, but you can’t use the credit facility to pay realised losses. Our credit facilities are always to a set, standardised limit and are interest free.
To access the credit facility, you’ll have to pass our checks. Typically, you can apply for a max credit equivalent of 25% of the funds you hold. For example, if you can demonstrate you have AUD$100,000 in liquid cash assets, you could get a credit of up to AUD$25,000.
